Walter Pieters posted in Friends of the League of WWI Aviation Historians Walter Pieters 10:51pm Aug 3 Monday 3 August 1914: the first war flights were carried out by the Belgian Air Service, but also the first loss of aircraft. Lieutenants Jaumotte & Bussy were caught in a stormon returning from their reconnaissance flight towards the Luxemburg border. The engine fell silent approaching Laroche, where Jaumotte crashed. Both men were slightly injured, but unconscious. Wearing leather clothing & no insignias, local people took them for Germans. It was then that Jaumotte regained consciousness & in a real Walloon dialect saved him & his observer. View Post on Facebook ·
